  • Short Summary:

    Open back: 125$ AKG K-702 i personally used these before and can recommend them.

    Closed Back: 133$ AKG K-371 Im an AKG fan so although i havent personally tested these ones, they have a good rating so i would recommend these.

    These two are studio headphones, so they are not super bass heavy but try to be close to recording/true frequency distribution instead.

    In ears can often be much better value (eg cheaper) but i dont really know enough to recommend something (check the following list, there are some very well rated ones in the 20-30$ range.)

    ==============================

    Exhaustive Lists:

    Crinacle is a dude that ranks headphones and has not led me astray so far.

    The following are big ranked list that start at S Tier meaning the list starts at 5-6 digit prices… Just scroll down until you find something in your price range that you like and has a decent rating. The prices might be different from whats listed there tho, because they change all the time.

    If you want in ears: https://crinacle.com/rankings/iems/

    If you want over ears: https://crinacle.com/rankings/headphones/

    With over ears, be aware of the difference between closed/open backs. Open backs give you better surround and more natural sound in my experience, while being able to hear things around you. If your surroundings are loud, you might want closed backs instead.
